On Vista gcc doesn't set the library prefixes correctly, which is why we've had
to add the workaround to GHC to modify PATH before invoking gcc, and why you
have to modify PATH by hand when building GHC on Vista. See:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1110.
So perhaps the problem is as in your previous message, that gcc is being invoked
from a different drive? Monique?
